Thrown away: The stuff you loved and lost.Smash Wogan writes, "we all love our Mums, but we all know that Mums can be cunts, throwing out our carefully hoarded crap that we know is going to be worth millions some day."
What priceless junk have you lost because someone just threw it out?
Zero points for "all my porn". Unless it was particularly good porn...

Sequential Circuits Prophet 5In school many years ago, I demonstrated an interest in music and keyboards. I used to go into the music room to play with the keyboards during my lunch break.
The teachers noticed this and gave me a Pro5 that had been sitting in the cupboard so I could use it at home (everyone was using casios). Guess they thought it was crap as the casios were digital and were all the rage at the time and the Pro5 only made squelchy noices and weooooeooooeooeeoeo noises so I guess they thought it was crap so they gave it to me.
Move forward a few years later...my dad throws it out thinking its an old broken piece of junk and worth nothing to anyone when cleaning up my room.
I'll still cry thinking about it as they are worth £1000's now...
Well, got a nice Access Virus B now, so that makes similar sounds.

That's devastatingAs a vintage synth (and guitar) obsessive myself I feel your pain. I keep finding beautiful things like old minimoogs and '67 Fender Jaguars in my local junkshop, but they've always gone by the time I've saved up enough to buy them. Even that is a kick in the teeth, I don't think I'd be able to handle it if I actually had something like that and lost it.
